Development Strategies for Disaster Preparedness, Bangladesh
The Development Strategies for Disaster Preparedness Programme (DSDPP) in Bangladesh is an emergency preparedness programme which involves building the capacity of 25 local organisations and two government districts to work with communities to lessen their vulnerability and to mitigate the effects of flooding which is a regular occurrence in the areas these agencies work in.
The DSDPP has been chosen as a case study because it is a good example of the creation of a disaster response system that builds on local capacities and resources and has great potential for replication and sustainability. It identifies an explicit disaster preparedness strategy which centralises capacity building as an approach and seeks to target and set up preparedness systems in areas which have been neglected by other agencies. It seeks to cater for preparedness needs of vulnerable communities in many areas in an efficient, economic and effective way.
